> The use case is to create an OS-based dynamic configuration file.
> The script determines which appender to use (once), and instantiates that appender (once). There is no need for one appender to delegate to another appender.
> This feature helps you build your configuration dynamically, all from the configuration file, to determine which appenders to configure. This is different from using a RoutingAppender which creates a level of indirection and decides what to do for each log event _at runtime_.
> You can use multiple ScriptSelector Appenders if needed.
> For example:
> {code:xml}
> <Configuration status="WARN" name="RoutingTest">
>   <Appenders>
>     <ScriptAppenderSelector name="InitAppender">
>       <Script language="JavaScript"><![CDATA[
>          "OSNameFoo".search("Foo") > -1 ? "List2" : "List1";]]>
>       </Script>
>       <AppenderSet>
>         <List name="List1" />
>         <List name="List2" />
>       </AppenderSet>
>     </ScriptAppenderSelector>
>   </Appenders>
>   <Loggers>
>     <Root level="error">
>       <AppenderRef ref="InitAppender" />
>     </Root>
>   </Loggers>
> </Configuration>
> {code}
> The new plugins are ScriptSelector (an Appender that builds a different ScriptSelector) and AppenderSet, a plugin with deferChildren set to true.
